Why would Houston make a play for Cousins? You guys are grasping. If Houston trades for a QB wouldn't O'Brien get someone he's familiar with? ...like Matt Cassel? Or maybe even Ryan Mallett? It looks like KC is staying put. As I've said all along, we need to have a solid back up behind RG3.

Here's why Houston could be in play..
1. They need a QB. They have Case Keenum, Ryan Fitzpatrick and TJ Yates on the roster right now. John Beck looks at them and giggles a bit.
2. Matt Cassell is the Vikings starting QB, they aren't going to trade him at this point. No way you can invest 7 first round picks over 3 years and go into the season with Christian Ponder and Teddy Bridgewater.
3. Mallett is off the block (reportedly) so the #1 available QB for trade is Cousins.
*EDIT* 4. No way in hell they draft David Carr's little brother. PR disaster whenever he makes a poor play/decision.

Stay or go, I don't care either way because McCoy is pretty much the same QB as Cousins, only older and with more experience. If Houston is willing to give up the 1st pick of the 3rd round for Cousins, see ya dude.

I'm not dead but this team is dead to me...but now that McCloughan is here they may have new life!

Still pulling my hair out over benching RG3 at the end, rather than at the start, of last season.

RG3's a warrior, I just cringe when I see him scrambling, like the talking heads on TV cringe when they see him running the read option. One hit by someone like Ngata even when he's down, and it may be over.

Can't believe RG3 doesn't have more protection aka Brady or Peyton. He gets hit, got straight up kicked in the jewels by Aldon Smith last season, for no penalty. Type cast as a "running QB" whether we read option or not, I fear it'll be open season on him again this season.

Not for nothing but as a Skins fan I am more than happy having the guy around until Griff gives me one healthy season. Cannot say the same about Colt friggin Mccoy. I wish KC could have a chance to start, but As a fan of the team Im more than comfortable with no deal getting done.
